Kempshott kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Kempshott and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they run a kitchen, it needs the same deep cleaning and grease trap care as any restaurant. In Kempshott, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. The state of floors, drains and hard-to-reach corners all feeds into the inspection. A cleaning log that includes deep cleans and grease trap visits shows the work is planned.
Healthcare kitchens cook through the year, so a deep clean has to be fitted around meals; Park Prewett Hospital, about 2.7 miles north, is the nearest hospital to Kempshott. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Kempshott Junior School or anywhere near Kempshott, the holidays are the time for a deep clean or a grease trap clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Restaurant and takeaway kitchens
Busy kitchens cannot afford a blocked drain. Regular trap cleaning helps prevent it.
Inline grease traps
Inline traps are fitted into the drain line. They’re larger than under-sink traps but still fill up.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Act on gurgling or smelly drains
- Never pour used oil down the sink
- Tell us if your menu or hours change
- Keep the grease trap on a regular cleaning schedule
The sinks are ready to use as soon as we have finished. Water is run through to check everything flows before we go.
Slow sinks and a bad smell are early warnings. Acting at this stage usually prevents a blockage down the line.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Blockages in the public sewer beyond the property
- Leaking pipework or sink wastes, which need a plumber
- A grease trap that is too small for the kitchen
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Kempshott
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Kempshott?
Kitchens in Kempshott are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look behind equipment and at drains, so it pays to have the deep clean booked before those areas build up.
Can the work in Kempshott be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Kempshott can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Why does a grease trap need regular cleaning?
A full trap cannot catch any more grease. It then sets in the drains, causing blockages and smells, and can add to fatbergs in the sewer.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common problems we fix in Kempshott
If a trap isn’t emptied, grease passes straight through. It goes on into the drain and the sewer beyond, where it can form blockages.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Washing-up water that will not drain away
- A full, neglected grease trap
- An inline trap or interceptor due for cleaning
- A regular cleaning plan for the grease trap
If you cater for weddings or events at a historic house in the area (The Vyne is about 4.9 miles north-east), deep cleans can be fitted between bookings.
